Here are just a few companies I recommend below.

1. Appen – This company has some freelance tasks that will pay you money to read very short sentences or phrases from your smartphone.  These jobs can pay upwards of $100.  All you need is a smartphone, your voice, and to download their app.  You will need to sign up on their platform first before you can apply for these jobs.
2. Clickworker – Clickworker is open worldwide with gigs/tasks you can do from your smartphone or computer using your voice or listening to other people’s voices where you will rate it according to naturalness.  These jobs are super easy and fun to complete.  Your earnings will be credited to your account in cash immediately after you complete them.  Payments are sent out by Friday via PayPal.
3. OneForma – This company is looking for people to complete all kinds of tasks where you will use your voice to record short prompts or listen to audio for cash.
4. Amazon Mturk – You can find some really cool reading jobs on Mturk.  I earned more than $30 just to read emails online.  I demonstrated this in a YouTube video that you can watch below.
5. Upwork – You can search their website for voice-over and reading jobs posted by people seeking freelancers to complete these projects from home.  Some of the gigs are ongoing and others are on an as-needed basis.
